Emerging from the ground beneath me, a towering tree sprouted, elevating me above the gathered primates. Positioned at this elevated vantage point, I ensured that all eyes were upon me, while my voice carried more distinctly, resonating through the surroundings.
With a commanding tone, I addressed the assembled primates, making it known that I would be departing alongside the female primate who had emerged from behind me. Gesturing towards the defeated leader, I indicated that he would remain in command during my absence.
The sound that emanated from my mouth conveyed the message clearly, ensuring that every primate present understood the forthcoming arrangements.
As I emitted a final sound, the tone carried a distinct note of menace and warning. It conveyed my expectation that nothing would change in my absence, and should I return to find any disruptions or misfortunes, severe consequences would befall the individual responsible. The threat implied that failure to maintain the order and harmony established would result in severe punishment or even death
Releasing a surge of my suppressed power, a wave of my formidable presence washed over the cave, inducing panic among the primates. Their screams echoed through the cavern, filling the air with chaos. However, I responded with an even more commanding and powerful roar, causing my brown eyes to radiate a menacing purple glow. The sheer force of my presence silenced the primates, bringing about an eerie calm
Seeing the effect I nodded before gesturing to the female primates to follow me. " We will be leaving at night time, make sure you do everything you want to" I said to her before climbing my favorite tree to sleep. Have I mentioned before how much I like sleeping in trees?
It appears that I allowed myself to surrender to the moment after I found what I was looking for, It was the female primate who roused me from my slumber, and as I stood up, I stretched my limbs, feeling a renewed sense of energy coursing through my being
"Have you said your goodbyes and done everything you want to?" I turned and asked her.
" Yes" she sounded a bit sad when she said that.
" Let's go then '' I said to her before swinging away heading deeper into the forest.
As I was swinging from tree to tree, I realized how much I love this gorilla form. Having the wind blowing at my face as I swung was something I am definitely going to miss.
The deeper we go the higher it gets, finding a clear space I jumped down.
Shortly after, the female primate joined me, her gaze surveying our surroundings. Curiosity flickered in her eyes as she inquired, "Is this your domain?"
Smiling at her words, I said nothing before a portal opened up in front of me. That caught her off guard so she jumped back, paying no mind to her antics as I walked through the portal.
Returning to my domain brought forth a profound sense of relief, both physically and mentally. As I reverted back into my towering 16-foot humanoid form, a surge of power emanated from within me, resonating throughout the entire realm. This display of unleashed energy served as a triumphant proclamation, announcing my return to all the fantastical creatures dwelling within my domain. Their awe-struck gazes met mine, recognizing the revitalized presence of their deity.
Still not feeling the presence of the female primate, I looked back to see a hand going in and out of the portal.
" It seems someone needs a little push." a slender root emerged from the ground, extending towards the portal. With a firm grip, the root clasped onto her outstretched arm and gently guided her across the boundary, pulling her into my domain.
Normally one should be amazed by the realm surrounding but because of the lightning condition, she couldn't appreciate the mythical view in front of her. My next focus is creating a lightsource for this realm.
" What are you looking at?" I asked the female primate who has been staring at me since she got through the portal.
" Who are you? " she asked with a quiver in her voice.
Her confusion was understandable, given the imposing form I currently possessed. If I were faced with a towering, 16-feet-tall monster, I would be just as bewildered.
She seemed more composed now that I was at her eye level and approached me cautiously. "Why do you look like this and move the way you do?"
"This is one of my true forms. The other form was a manifestation of my powers," I explained, demonstrating by transforming into various creatures before her.
"You weren't lying when you said I wouldn't be able to comprehend what gods are," she remarked.
"No, I wasn't. Walking in this manner is something you should be capable of as well," I assured her.
"Yes, but it's not as effortless for me as it seems for you," she replied, attempting to stand on her hind legs but quickly returning to her hunched position.
"So, this is your home?" she inquired.
"Yes," I confirmed.
"Why is it so dark? I can hardly see anything," she asked curiously.
Hearing her comment, I extended my palm and conjured a small ball of divine energy. With each passing moment, the ball grew larger as I infused it with more of my power. When I felt it had reached the desired size, I focused my will to prevent the energy from dissipating. The immense ball of energy soared from my palm, ascending swiftly to the center of my realm where it hung suspended.
"Now you can see clearly," I said to her, but my voice had a weakness to it..
However, she seemed oblivious to my condition, completely captivated by the unfolding spectacle before her. The realm unveiled itself as a picturesque garden, adorned with unique plants and trees that were unfamiliar to her. Magical creatures roamed harmoniously, and the presence of light seemed to awaken a yearning within all things, as the trees stretched their branches towards the illuminated sky.
Observing the response of the creatures and the trees in my realm, I realized how much they needed a light source. Though they had grown accustomed to its absence, the longing was evident. Unfortunately, expending such a substantial amount of divine energy for illumination was not a sustainable solution. The ball of light represented a significant portion of my power, and I had imbued it with my will to make it don't disperse. I plan on taking back the energy.
Gazing upon the joyful scene before me and sensing the emotions of the trees, I decided to allow them to savor this moment while I made my way back to my altar to take my seat.
"You have a beautiful home," the female primate remarked, sitting beside me after her exploration.
"Thank you," I replied.
A brief silence ensued before she inquired, "Should we start now?"
Her question caught me off guard, and I responded, "There's no need to rush. I thought you wanted to learn more about me."
"I am indeed curious about you," she confirmed.
Let me satiate your curiosity then "To begin with, I am one of the gods in this world called Nana. I go by the name Ikenga, and my domain encompasses nature and curses," I explained.
Curiosity filled her voice as she asked, "What is a name?"
"A name can have various meanings, but ultimately, it represents identity," I clarified.
"Identity?" she pondered.
"Yes, for instance, take this flower." A blossom materialized in the palm of my hand, and I handed it to her.
"This flower is like any other, but it has a name that specifically identifies it," I continued.
"What is its name?" she asked, captivated by the flower that resembled the sun.
"It is called a sunflower," I answered, observing the flower's resemblance to its name.
She gazed at the flower in awe before turning her attention back to me. "I want a name of my own, Ikenga."
Creation is hard, cheer me up!

Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
I welcomed the idea of giving her a name, considering it a small gesture of gratitude for the favor she was about to do for me. A name would not only signify her existence but also serve as a representation of this remarkable primate I had encountered.
As I pondered on a suitable name, simplicity became my preference. She possessed healing abilities, so I needed to choose a name befitting a healer.
"After careful thought, I believe Panacea would be a perfect name for you," I finally proposed.
"Panacea? What does it mean?" she inquired with a joyful tone.
"It means the remedy to all things or illness. In this case, you are a remedy to one of my problems," I explained, observing her embrace me in what seemed like a primate's hug.
"I love the name you've given me, Ikenga," she expressed her joy.
"I'm glad to hear that," I responded. Time seemed to pass swiftly as I continued conversing with her, sharing my plans for the future and imparting knowledge she lacked. It amazed me how quickly she absorbed the information, even though I knew she would likely not utilize the knowledge she's learning.
"That's essentially everything I can tell you about myself," I concluded, wrapping up my story.
"After hearing everything, do you still want to proceed with this?" I inquired, seeking her final decision.
Panacea's determination shone through her eyes as she expressed her unwavering commitment to help me, despite her limitations. Although she acknowledged her incapability of offering everything, she pledged to channel all her energy into producing a strong offspring who would eventually assist me in my endeavors.
Realizing that the time had come, I focused on the core of my divinity, invoking a call to revert back into my true form. Unlike imagination, this transformation was a deep, instinctual process. I could feel the change sweeping over me instantaneously.
Recalling Crepuscular's warning about the potential consequences of revealing one's true form, I took immediate action. As the transformation occurred, I carefully reined in the aura and energy that threatened to overflow, ensuring it remained contained within me. With that done, my transformation was complete.
No longer in my humanoid state, I now stood at a towering 25 feet, assuming my crouched Kong-like form. My horns had grown larger to suit my immense stature, while my arms became adorned with the finest stone. In this primal state, I understood the reason for its name, as an animalistic wildness coursed through my being.
Looking down at Panacea, whose mouth was agape in disbelief, I playfully flicked one of my colossal fingers towards her face, causing her to stumble slightly.
"What was that for?" she asked, slightly taken aback.
"Nothing," I replied, feigning ignorance.
Now that she had composed herself, she gazed up at my new form and, with a hint of heat in her voice, commented, "You look really handsome right now."
"Wasn't I always handsome?" I asked with a playful grin.
"You were, but now you're even more captivating," she replied.
Her next words resonated with a touch of concern, "But I can do nothing with you at this size."
"You seem to forget that I can change my size," I responded, a mischievous glint in my eyes. Gradually, I shrank back down to her size.
As soon as I reached her size, she leaped onto me in excitement. Not wanting to put on a spectacle for the creatures in my realm, I extended my hand and called back the divine energy that had been illuminating the sky, causing the realm to once again descend into darkness.
-----------------
As our main character pulled the curtain to fulfill his godly duties, somewhere in the northern realm which now belongs to the goddess of the moon.
For the small amount of time Mahu has been born, she couldn't help but feel bothered by the strength exuded by her older siblings after she met them at the meeting. She understood that the age gap accounted for the difference, but it still didn't sit right with her.
Her twin, Ikenga, seemed unfazed by the discrepancy in strength and even if he was bothered, he did a good job of keeping a composed facade.
Despite her concerns, Mahu was overjoyed when Ikenga agreed to her request for an alliance. Wasting no time, she journeyed to the north, the region assigned to her, in search of the creature she would choose for her creation.
She understood that starting a creation will breach the disparity in strength even if a little and the earlier she starts the better.
She chose the north due to its affinity for her moon divinity. As the goddess of the moon, she had a certain level of control over the element of ice, which was abundant in this region.
Descending from the moon to the northern part of the planet Nana, Mahu's eyes beheld a vast expanse of ice covering the land. However, amidst the frozen landscape, there was a particular area that emitted a warm fragrance, resembling a normal land. This place stood out prominently in the Northern hemisphere.
Despite the snowy terrain, the north appeared like a regular forest, with thriving trees and animals. It seemed the abundant cold mana in this part of the planet had caused a mutation in the land.
Instead of the usual brown bark and green leaves, the trees in this cold land possessed white bark and leaves. Surprisingly, this mutation didn't hinder the trees and plants from bearing fruit.
The fruits produced by these mutated plants shared a common characteristic—a cold and refreshing sensation when bitten into, each with its own unique flavor.
Humans in this region had adapted well to the cold. They had established their homes in the abnormal part of this frigid land, where normal-looking trees, plants, and animals thrived.
They seemed accustomed to the cold, often seen venturing into the cold forest with minimal clothing to gather fruits and hunt.
Mahu had been closely observing the creatures inhabiting this part of the world. Unlike her brother Ikenga, she lacked the ability to transform for closer observations, so she had to rely on what she could see from a distance. Ideally, she would have chosen humans as her creation, as she found them to be more aesthetically pleasing. However, humans were off-limits according to Nana's rules. It was quite demeaning for Maha to consider letting a lower creature touch her.
The northern region was teeming with a variety of creatures, both magical and non-magical. Like the trees, the animals had also undergone mutations. Lions and hyenas could be spotted in the area, but their thick white fur indicated the changes they had undergone.
Among the numerous creatures, Mahu had been observing polar bears, foxes, reindeer, and tigers. However, it was the pack of snow-white wolves that captured her interest the most.
Mahu admired the wolves for their pack dynamics. As a deity with an affinity for motherhood, she found their cooperative behavior and unity beautiful to witness. She observed how the wolves worked together to bring down their prey, relying on their unity to dominate the food chain.
Yet, she couldn't ignore the cruel side of nature demonstrated by the wolves, such as their ruthless treatment of weaker members. This was an expected aspect of the natural world.
Hovering in the air, Mahu observed the wolves as they rested, satisfied with their successful hunt. They licked their fur and occasionally bit into the snow around them. Her decision had been made; the wolves would be her chosen creation.
Slowly descending, Mahu approached the wolves, their curious gazes fixated on her. While they observed her, she also observed them, soon singling out her target: the Alpha.
